FRESNO, Calif. - This year the day after Thanksgiving was a little different around Fresno State. The Bulldogs turned the famous "Black Friday" red and gave their fans more deals than ever before. For the first time ever, the Bulldog athletic department was handing out Scratcher cards to fans at the ticket office and at the Bulldog Shop on the corner of Cedar and Barstow. Each Scratcher card had prizes from two for one football and basketball tickets, discounts at the Bulldog Shop, to a 42 inch Fresno State custom flat screen TV.
To win the TV a Bulldog fan had to scratch the letters "D-O-G-S" off on their Scratcher card. The proud winner of the TV, Vanessa Garcia, found the lucky Scratcher card at the Bulldog Shop.
"I scratched the `D' and then the `O' and then the employee started screaming, `She won the TV!'" said Garcia.
Fresno State's associate athletic director, Paul Ladwig, and the famous TimeOut handed over the custom Fresno State flat screen TV to Garcia and her family at the Bulldog Shop on Wednesday evening.
"The entire Black Friday Turns Red event created buzz and excitement and brought people to the Ticket office and Bulldog Shop. And for one very lucky fan winning a brand new Fresno State HD flat screen TV was the topping of the week," said Ladwig. "We are pleased that Vanessa and her family shopped in the Bulldog Shop and won with our Scratcher card promotion."
Scratcher cards are still available for fans at the Bulldog Shop and the ticket office located at Bulldog Stadium. There are plenty of great deals on football and basketball tickets and amazing discounts on Bulldog gear to still be won.
"We Are Your Team!" Fresno State concludes the regular season on Friday Dec. 3 at 7:15 p.m. against Big Ten foe Illinois. Tickets for the game can be purchased by clicking the tickets icon at the top of this page.
